Trichotillomania is characterized by recurrent hair pulling resulting in hair loss causing significant distress and impairment which persists despite repeated attempts to stop. Behavioral based therapies focused on increasing awareness of hair pulling followed by the use of an incompatible behavior have proven effective.

In this study, we will test the feasibility of the HabitAware device and accompanying app as a system for delivering self-administered habit reversal training (HRT).
